Default Unknown seat

Good morning all. I acquired a seat for my 02 RKC yesterday, for a trade with someone. The seat I had on mine was wide (unknown manufacture), and, as I am short, it presented a bit of an issue being flat footed. Which normally isnt a problem, unless I ride 2 up with the woman.
Anyway, I got this seat from a friend I ride with quite regularly, and am trying it out for a couple weeks. I put it on yesterday, and immediately noticed a difference. It isnt as wide, which is nice. It brings me a little closer to the bike, which allows me to actually be able to be flat footed. Also, the passenger pillion is damn near twice as wide as the seat I removed was. Which will make the girl VERY happy.
Problem is, I dont know what brand the seat is. I am hoping someone here can identify it for me. Here is the pic:




If anyone can tell me what brand this is, I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks!

Looks like an ElectraGlide seat. Th rear passenger portions re wider on the ElectraGlides than on the RoadKings, for appearance.

Yep, its called the comfort pillow or pillow touring seat or something along those lines. I've had several of them on my touring bikes. One of the most comfortable seats the MoCo has ever made but ugly as sh*t

Thanks guys. It may be ugly, but my rear end isnt winning any beauty contests either . Its comfy, which I like. Far more comfy than the seat that was on it.

At the end of the day, that's what counts the most.
